The Gathering is a solutions-focused and activity-based event - you can expect less traditional speaking spaces (like panels), and more time spent on idea cultivation, effective collaboration, and re-imagination. Past Gatherings have been both an exciting and strategic opportunity to connect with others with a shared passion for the environment.
